Making tax digital is great in theory but all it takes is a disgruntled employee and they can cause carnage and bring down the system. Will be funny when it happens because Governments and public service run by keeping money in tight budgets. Look what happened to JLR and how much it cost the company. A system is only as secure by how honest their employees are. We see it all the time now. I wonder if they have any paper backups? Up here SEPA went down and didn't have a backup saved system meaning they needed to start back from square one.

Handy for us if we have a paper backup just in case our computer goes down.

Just back it up on a USB stick, you'll still have all your figures if the worse happens.

Edit; presuming your using a spreadsheet.

Think you will find jaguar Land Rover  were hacked by an out side source same as M&S and the  others that were affected it wasn’t a disgruntled employee

The same applies to your digital business database.

What if that disappeared too?

But a fire or flood could destroy paperwork.

I have to sign up to this next year, wondering if someone can confirm for me if my interpretation of it is correct.

Does it mean all receipts need to be digitally uploaded? And if they aren't uploaded does that mean you can't claim for it?.

No it's only a recommendation to make it easier if you're asked for more information from HMRC.   

But if you want to go fully digital, just take a photo of any paper receipts and upload them to your method of storing them.   

I just use OneDrive cloud to store them all.  I create a yearly expense folder.  Then in each yearly  folder create 12  monthly folders. Simple

I'm going to keep paper and digital receipts moving forward.

Basically all I do at present is keep all my expense receipts in a physical folder with my end of year accounts printed off cleaner planner for that tax year. The only difference when MTD comes into force (in April 2027  for me)is I'll also store all my receipts in a digital folder too and use something like 123sheets(bridging software) to upload 3 monthly accounts to HMRC.

Yep same....

There is another post somewhere down the list which we all went into a lot of detail about MTD and 123 Sheets.

Is cleanerplanner not integrating MTD?

Squeegee is. I’ll be ditching quickbooks and doing all my accounting through squeegee from April, looks simple.

I'll seriously look at swapping over to Squeegee if they integrate with MTD to make things simpler
